Vikings just went and put Game of Thrones to shame with one of the season’s most harrowing deaths yet.

After Bjorn (Alexander Ludwig) went off to Norway in an attempt to free Harald (Peter Franzén) from King Olaf’s (Steven Berkoff) reign, the bandits he previously exiled from Kattegat saw their opportunity to attack Lagertha’s (Katheryn Winnick) new farm.

Rounding up her troops, the retired Shieldmaiden dug up her sword that was buried in the ground and prepared her people for battle.

But nothing prepared fans for what was to come, as the History Channel hit just went and had its very own Red Wedding moment, seeing Bjorn’s son Hali (Ryan Henson) murdered at the hands of the bandits.

Just when we thought the coast was clear and our people had won the fight, Hali ran out into the open and picked up a sword that as twice his height, waving it around in celebration.

But there was one enemy left, who watched the tot shout out to his grandma: ‘Look Lagertha, look at me!’

Knowing how crushing it would be to kill the bambino, the bandit fled towards him on his horse and ended up striking the youngster with his sword.

Lagertha tried to stop him in his tracks, however, after entering the ‘final stage’ of her life, found out she wasn’t as quick as she used to be and missed the bandit as he rode on past her.

Hali fell to the floor after dropping his sword, as Lags screamed out in anguish and ran over to him.

As she scooped the little on up in her arms, he whispered to the aging warrior: ‘I don’t know if I did enough, I’m sorry.’

Tears started to stream down Lagertha’s face as she attempted to comfort the child in his final moments: ‘You have nothing to be sorry for, you have been so brave.’

He asked: ‘Have I? Am I dying, Lagertha?’

Unable to lie to her grandson, she replied: ‘You have been more than brave. You are dying, but the Gods are here, Odin is here, he saw how brave you were.

When she asked if her people wanted to run away or stay and fight, the mourning sibling muttered: ‘I don’t want to leave my brother,’ and our hearts were crushed some more.

Vikings season six returns to the History Channel and Amazon Prime on Wednesday.
